Anyone see this race? Dr. Ullrich thought Mercedes drivers were instructed to knock out the Audi's so he had all of the Audi's pit in and retire from the race.

Yeah i just saw it on Speed. Crazy stuff...Based on Ullrich's reasons, I would have to agree with his decision. He must have felt extremely strong about the issue to order all of his drivers to come in.

The 1-hour highlight doesn't really give you a good idea of what was going on. Here's a discussion we had last year. I watched the full coverage and gave my opinion:

Series needs more manufactures BAD

I have not been following the DTM series, but how come BMW is not in the DTM series now? The last time I saw a DTM race it was just Merc and Audi.

Still is... I don't have an exact answer.

I always though BMW were more into saloon car racing where the cars more closely resembled their actual production cars... Then they started F1.. so back to square one for me

I think they plan to re-enter DTM with the E90 M3 Saloon, not sure but what I remember reading somewhere, ofcourse we all know how reliable the internet is.
